Kanye West spent nearly $4,000 for a dinner from the Wales restaurant British Raj’s that would have cost the rapper about $17.50 per person. It’s the delivery charge – the meal was coming from Wales to New York – that’s the killer. The feast for West and seven guests consisted of onion bhajees, chapati breads, biryanis, pappadums, a specially prepared fish dish and vegetables. The meal was helicoptered from Wales to London’s Heathrow Airport on Tuesday. Then it was to hop a flight to New York, where the meal is to be served today.
